Notes

1 Samuel 1:17–18

A blessing was more than just wishful thinking. It was often God's way of giving a real benefit (see, for example, Genesis 27:1–40; 28:1–4; 32:22–32; 48:1–49:28). Because this blessing from God's high priest assured Hannah that her prayer would be answered, she was no longer sad.
